[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1170236, member: 3187"] That's me exactly. The Gen II required good technique. The Gen III (with [I]my[/I] 72 years and 145 pounds [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] ) requires little more than stepping onto the stand's pedal. Even with a bad back you'd have no problem, other than possibly pushing the bike upright to get both the stand's feet on the ground. So ... ... wrong request. "Honey, can I have a Gen III, please?" Better still, since "Honey" is presumably a woman, surreptitiously make sure she gets to know the Gen III will allow your back to get better so you can do all those jobs She wants doing. But by far the best is [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/159135-2014-fjr1300as"]to have a wife like mine[/URL][IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/love.gif[/IMG] . But I still have to do all those jobs. [/QUOTE]
